HEALING THROUGH TOUCH is one of the oldest therapies in the world.

The "laying on of hands" for the sick and injured can be seen in prehistoric cave paintings, predating 5,000 years of recorded history. Today, we are witnessing a "re-cognition" of the benefits of human touch as a basic need and are again beginning to value its healing qualities. We are learning in scientific laboratories that these therapies affect the physical being at the core, in a very literal sense, as well as opening emotional, psychological and spiritual dimensions. We are realizing that body, mind and spirit operate as a unit, and so the need to approach them as one is necessary. Our aim is to teach these body therapies in conjunction with allopathic, alternative and complementary medicine.

The Institute offers students an opportunity to learn a profession where they may use body, mind and spirit to facilitate health, well-being, and a better quality of life for themselves and their clients, while at the same time earning a good living.

Our commitment is to provide a supportive environment in which to teach students proper techniques and sensitivities, and the business aspects of bodywork, plus a respect for the human body, the profession and for themselves as professionals.

The Institute offers a place for beginners, as well as the continuing education of professionals currently practicing in the field.

We strive to further establish legitimacy as hands-on healthcare professionals by seeking credibility and acceptance through city ordinances, state legislation, education of the public, continued development of ethics policies, and higher standards in both education and practice.
